About:
Slides is a terminal-based presentation tool that allows users to create and present slideshows directly in the command line. It uses a simple Markdown-like syntax to define slides, enabling quick creation without leaving the terminal. This tool is ideal for developers who want to deliver presentations without context switching to a GUI application.
Key Features:
  • Markdown-like syntax for easy slide creation
  • Live presentation mode in the terminal
  • Keyboard navigation and shortcuts
  • No external dependencies or GUI required
Use Cases:
  • Live coding demonstrations and technical presentations
  • Terminal-based workshops and tutorials
  • Quickly creating visual aids without leaving the CLI
Alternatives:
  • slidesv – Similar terminal presentation tool, often with different syntax or feature set
  • reveal.js – Web-based presentation framework requiring a browser and GUI
  • pptx/Keynote – Traditional GUI presentation software, not terminal-native
